Gliderng450
StatusCompleted
SummaryDeployment of a Littoral Battlespace Sensing (LBS) glider owned and operated by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). This
glider was deployed as a replacement for ng656-20220803T0000, which malfunctioned. This glider was deployed Southwest of the
Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of Mexico. The glider will traverse a series of 3 waypoints forming a triangle in the central
Gulf of Mexico. LBS gliders collect temperature and salinity profiles in the water column. These gliders were provided and
operated by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) and are part of a larger effort to deploy and operate over 100 gliders
simultaneously. Data collected by these Littoral Battlespace Sensing (LBS) gliders is assimilated for use in underwater ocean
forecasts that support a wide range of naval operations. The glider will initially head south towards the Loop Current, aiming
for the center of westward flowing Loop Current eddies and other large scale events for model validation. New waypoints may be
sent to the glider to modify the planned track as needed.
